  • A modest hotel with sort of modern-rustic décor and rooms overlooking the water.

  • The wedge-shaped 15th-century building has a frescoed loggia and splashing fountain. Rooms exude antique charm.

  • Boringly modular but spacious apartments of two or three rooms, with A/C, VCR, modem hook-ups, kitchenettes, laundry service, and thrice-weekly cleanings. Daily and weekly rates are available.

  • A small hotel in the pedestrian centre of Stresa. Simple rooms have the basic amenities.

  • Principe di Savoia

    Built in 1927 in a 19th-century Lombard style, this is the most elegant of Milan’s top hotels. Its Principe Tower was built in 2000 for businessmen who like their modern office conveniences in an old-fashioned atmosphere.

  • This personable hotel, named after Manzoni’s literary classic (see I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed)), sits on a square at the foot of the middle-class shopping boulevard of northern Milan. Though at the top end of budget, it’s probably the best value of any hotel in Milan. Most rooms are quite large by Italian standards and furnished in an airy style with rattan pieces.

  • This is one of the main organizations for self-catering accommodation – called “Residence” in Italian, and usually available on a monthly basis. On the website is a downloadable brochure with dozens of options in Milan and throughout the region.

  • A canary-yellow 1905 villa with exquisite detailing, spacious high-ceilinged rooms and a tiny garden pool.

  • The most characterful of the Via Rovello hotels has been renovated with shiny wood floors, stylish furnishings, and orthopaedic beds. But it has kept the wood-beamed ceilings, classy dressing rooms and unusually spacious bedrooms.

  • The classiest hotel in Bergamo opened in 1998 in a converted convent at the north end of the atmospheric upper town. The service is impeccable, and the rooms done in a pleasing minimalist style.
